Life in prisonDocumentary 2017 : Inmates in HARDCORE SOLITARY CONFINEMENT
Being locked up in a prison is obviously a horrible experience, but theres a difference between regular cells to solitary confinement (segregation).
When inmates move from general population to the solitary unit, they basically move to a prison within a prison.
Extremely violent inmates are being locked up in a solitary unit, and are suffering from extreme harsh conditions, some are locked almost 24 hours a day. Isolation is tough.
These conditions are almost impossible to bare, thus many prisoners commit suicide and kill themselves. They even through feces and urine on their prison guards, and act like monsters.
Most of these inmates lose their minds and become insane. These inmates are being treated like animals.
Officers regular have to remove self-abusive inmates from their cells in an attempt to prevent them from hurting themselves. They cut their arms, neck and even their genitals.

isolation

Capping a year of reporting about teens held in solitary confinement, The Center for Investigative Reporting is releasing our documentary "Alone," which can now be seen on our YouTube channel, The I Files.
This follows stories we've done in print, for broadcast on the PBS NewsHour, as part of CIR's new "Reveal" radio show, and in an animation ("The Box") and graphic novel.
With the publication or broadcast of each version of our reporting, we have seen the issue of teenage solitary confinement become part of a growing national debate.
In May, after more than a year of lobbying by youth advocates, U.S. AttorneyGeneralEric Holder called on states to end the excessive use of solitary confinement on juvenile inmates.
CIR began investigating the solitary confinement of teenagers in prisons, jails and juvenile halls across the U.S. in March 2013. Juvenile justice experts had been pressing the Department of Justice to flex its muscle on behalf of young inmates, to no avail. Holder's shop declined all interview requests by CIR.
Our reporting quickly zeroed in on Rikers Island, the massive jail complex in New York City, where last year about a quarter of juvenile inmates were held in isolation for 23 hours a day. We spent almost a year requesting to see Rikers' teen solitary units, but the city's Department of Correction denied them, as did officials at Cook County jail in Chicago and five county jails in Florida. We figured out quickly that juvenile solitary was an often secretive practice, largely unregulated and rampant in most states.
Our investigation early on pointed to thousands of American teenagers held in solitary every day. We wanted to show what that looked like and how it affected kids. We talked to criminal justice experts in California who said virtually every juvenile hall in the state used some form of prolonged isolation.
That's when we remembered Santa Cruz CountyJuvenile Hall. Covering juvenile justice over the years, TreyBundy had heard again and again that officials in Santa Cruz had created a model that had reduced the use of isolation so much that corrections officials around the country routinely traveled to California'sCentral Coast to see how they did it.
Santa Cruz ChiefProbation OfficerFernando Giraldo, and Sara Ryan, the hall's superintendent, allowed us to film inside their facility for five days, unescorted, and talk to anyone we wanted. Our resulting documentary, "Alone," toggles between New York City and Santa Cruz, where young people tell their own stories of isolation and how the justice system can do better.
Now that Holder has said he wants to end excessive solitary for youth, we'll keep watching for changes. In the meantime, watch "Alone" and see for yourself what it's like for kids in isolation and how one facility is trying to keep them out.
"Alone" was produced Daffodil Altan. It was reported by Altan and Trey Bundy, edited by David Ritsher and Andrew Gersh, and filmed by MarcoVillalobos. The senior producer was Stephen Talbot. The executive producer was Susanne Reber.

In a three-month investigation, VICENews uses Freedom of Information laws, exclusive interviews, and prison reports to uncover the scandal of the 4,612 prisoners serving life sentences under abolished legislation — some for relatively minor crimes.
From 2005, judges in England and Wales started giving out a new kind of life sentence for offenses such as shoplifting, minor criminal damage, and affray (fighting in public).
Indeterminate Sentences for PublicProtection (IPPs) were found to breach the European Convention on Human Rights, and the government scrapped the sentence in 2012. But nobody did anything about the prisoners already inside.
Three-quarters of them have completed their mandatory minimum sentence, but still have no release date, at a cost to the taxpayer of $180 million a year. Sixteen inmates have killed themselves since the sentence's abolition.
Speaking to inmates, their families, lawyers, and a Parole Board veteran, VICE News exposes the UK's forgotten prisoners.

Russia's Toughest Prison - The Condemned [ Documentary HD 2016 ]
In 2001, soon after Mark Franchetti arrived in Russia as the Sunday Times correspondent, he went on a remarkable assignment to Penal Colony 56. It was the first time any journalist, let alone a foreign reporter, had gained access. It was the beginning of an unusual relationship that Mark forged with the prison governor, Subkan Dadashiov.
Mark and NickRead met working on a documentary for the BBC: ‘Britain’s Most Wanted’ about Andrei Lugovoi, who was accused of the murder & polonium poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in the UK. The film was widely acclaimed, and Mark and Nick forged a uniquely collaborative filmmaking partnership, going on to develop several more films together.
Both were committed to finding new audiences and platforms for their films, and became fascinated by the possibilities of longer form story-telling, and the potential of making feature length documentaries for the cinema. They discussed the possibility of re-visiting Penal Colony 56 in February 2012, and a phone call to the governor suggested that he would agree.
Every single man there is a murderer. Some mad, some bad, and some who just lost their minds in the wrong place and time. This first trip was scheduled at just 10 days. After meeting nearly 100 of the 260 inmates in the first few days, instinct had to guide us to the strongest characters – but then there was a feast of riches.
Visually as the cameraman, Nick was intent on capturing the claustrophobia and textures of this decaying institution, built in Soviet times, full of atmosphere. There was never a moment of silence there – the air filled with human sounds, and of locks turning, doors slamming.
One of the first ‘lifers’ Mark & Nick met was confined to a single man cell, 23 hours a day for the rest of his life. Yet, he told us, he was ‘too busy to talk to us’. Initially we thought him one of the mad, but in time we learnt that one of the main survival skills for these prisoners is a strict regime. To disturb it was unthinkable for this inmate, and we regrettably were unable to persuade him to take part.
Returning to see our original cast meant that Mark could draw them out even more in interview, to fulfill a mission to see ‘inside their souls’ while looking at the whites of their eyes. Eventually though, we could leave – most of the prisoners will remain with little hope of release until their dying day.
Most of all we hope that the testimony of these forgotten men, set in the unique atmosphere of their remote habitat, provides a story that will live long in the memory.

Otis Johnson went to jail at the age of 25. When he got out at 69, he rejoined a world that was starkly different from the one he remembered. This is his story.
Last year, we met Otis Johnson at a New York City shelter for ex-convicts. Everyone there was trying to get their feet back on the ground. Otis had just got out of prison after serving a 44-year sentence. The last time he had seen his family was May 1975.
When we shared Otis's first story of being reintroduced to the modern world, viewers were amazed by just how unfamiliar everything was to him. iPhones, Times Square, jars of pre-mixed peanut butter and jelly ... everything was new or starkly different.
INTERACTIVE: My life after 44 years in prison. The story of Otis Johnson
His story clearly resonated with people. More than 12 million people watched Otis' story on YouTube, and we wanted to show them what happened next.
We went to Asbury Park, in New Jersey, with Otis to try to find them. Reconnecting with family was something he had said he was always interested in doing, but hadn't got round to yet. After all, he was still learning how to navigate the city. He had a small box where he kept old, tattered photos of family members, but that was basically all the information he had on them.
"The only address I really have is Asbury Park," Otis told us. So we took the train to Asbury Park not knowing much.
But we did have Otis' memory. Once we arrived at the train station and began roaming the streets, small things about his old home slowly came back to him: extended family members, friends, shops. He wanted to find his aunt, DottieMoore, and some other family members. He said many would probably think he was dead.
When we talked to Otis about his relationship with his family, his answers were complicated. He was a member of the Fruit of Islam (the paramilitary wing of Nation of Islam, the Islamic religious movement once famously led by Malcom X) in his younger days. The Nation of Islam's stated goals were to improve the spiritual, mental, social, and economic condition of African Americans. Otis was a devout Muslim who said he helped "clean up the streets" of drug dealers.
"We wasn't all bad," he would say.
But Otis said some of his family members didn't buy that. He didn't know if they would be angry or happy to see him after all these years away. He had a nervous energy about him as we walked down Pine Street, knocking on doors and asking strangers about Dottie Moore.
This final story on Otis Johnson is one of reconnection and reconciliation. It is the story of a man on a quest to reunite with remnants of his past and one, we hope, many can relate to.

Joseph Ligon: The story of Joseph Ligon. The men who turns down parole after 63 years in prison
Prison lifer turns down parole after 63 years behind bars.
The Philadelphia Inquirer examined the case of Joseph Ligon, who has been in prison since the age of 15, reporting that he rejected the deal out of principle.
Mr Ligon, thought to be the lonest-serving juvenile lifer in the world, has spent the last 63 years behind bars after being handed a life sentence for his role in the murder of two people in 1953. He claims he did not commit the murders.
Joe was incarcerated when he was 15 after a one-day trial for a murder he denies committing. He is in Pennsylvania—one of the three major states (Michigan and Louisiana) that required a subsequent Supreme Court ruling to allow juveniles committed to life imprisonment to have reconsideration. Joe went in when Eisenhower was in his first term, the Korean War was in full swing and the Dodgers (Brooklyn) were playing the Yankees in the World Series.

Kids aren't always cute and harmless so keep a good eye on your children! Here are 20 kids you forgot committed horrible crimes.
Subscribe for weekly wacky videos and learn interesting facts about the world with awesome top 10 lists and other amazing videos.
10- Joseph Weil – This conman started his criminal career at just 17 years old in the 1800’s. He was an infamous protection racket man and loan sharked, and eventually started selling rainwater under the guise “Meriwether’s Elixir.” He was never arrested or convicted of any crime, but he lived and died a conman – at the ripe old age of 100 years old!
9- Jesse Pomeroy – In 1874, at just 11 years old, this problem child sexually tortured and molested up to seven other boys. He soon turned deadly, and after that he killed and mutilated a 10 year old girl. He was sentenced to just 40 years of solitary confinement – the maximum sentence at the time for someone so young.
8- David Brom – David Brom was just 16 years old in 1988, when the seemingly normal and average teenager took an axe and bludgeoned his entire family to death while they slept. He killed his parents, his 14 year old sister and nine year old brother. The next day at school it was business as usual, and he even bragged to a friend about the murders. He’s now in prison serving a life term.
7- JasmineRichardson – In 2006, Jasmine Richardson was talked into killing her parents and eight year old brother by her deranged boyfriend. At just 12 years old, Jasmine stabbed her parents so many times her father was drained of almost all his blood. She then slit her brother’s throat while he slept upstairs. She was charged with first degree murder, but has since been placed in a mental hospital.
6- Brian Blackwell – Wanting to appear to have more than he had was the motivation behind this next crime. Brian Blackwell took out credit cards and loans in his father’s name to appear to be wealthy to his friends. When his parents found out, Blackwell beat them both with a hammer and then stabbed them to death. After the murders, he whisked his girlfriend away on a lavish vacay to NYC and Barbados. He was later sentenced to life in prison.
5- Eric Smith – 13 year old Eric Smith lured 4 year old Derrick Robie to a park where he then strangled him and beat him with two large rocks before sexually abusing and mutilating his body. Smith was found guilty of second degree murder and received the maximum sentence for someone his age – 9 years to life.
4- The Menendez Brothers – Who could forget the Menendez brothers – Lyle and Erik. In 1989, the brothers used a shotgun to kill both their parents in cold blood. The 21 year old and 18 year old became the center of all media at that time and the trial was covered and followed relentlessly. The pair were convicted and sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole.
3- Edmund Kemper – So, at 15 years old, Edmund Kemper murders his grandparents and says he had no regrets. He’s then held in juvenile hall and released 5 years later. Surprise, surprise – he went on to murder and dismember eight women (including his own mother) over the following five years. The real crazy part (pun intended) is that a panel of psychologists still labeled him no threat to society! Kemper has to tell the parole board each time he’s up that he isn’t fit to be released.
2- Mary Bell – Mary Bell had a rough start to life. Her mother tried to kill Mary many times when she was a baby and also began prostituting her out to men at the age of four. At 11 years old, Mary strangled a four year old boy to death and then months later she strangled a three year old boy, killing him as well. She went on to mutilate the three year old body and to carve the letter “M” on his stomach. She was condemned to live in a mental institution, but was released after just 12 years. She was released at the age of 23.
1- Larry Swartz – In 1984, Larry Swartz, then just 17 years old, killed his adoptive parents by stabbing his father with a steak knife and beating his mother with a wood-splitting hammer. This case was so sensational and drew so much attention that it was turned into a best-selling book called “Sudden Fury” and made into a TV movie starring Neil Patrick Harris.

After mandatory life sentences for juveniles were found unconstitutional, Prosecutor Forsyth asked the court to reconsider the sentence. (Sept. 23, 2016)

NOLA (album)

Writing and recording

NOLA was written mainly by Phil Anselmo and Pepper Keenan between 1990 and 1995. Throughout 1991 to 1993 the band released three demos, a three-track demo (1991), a four-track demo (1992) and a ten-track demo (1993). Originally the band made the three-track demo for underground trading. The demo featured the tracks "Losing All", "Temptations Wings" and "Bury Me in Smoke". In an effort to build a fan base, the band would ask heavy metal fans if they had ever "heard of this band, Down" and hand them copies of the tape without telling the person that they were in the band. In 1992 the band recorded a second demo, this time featuring the same track listing as the original but with an intro. In 1993 the band made the Demo Collection 1992 - 1993 which is a ten-track demo featuring all the songs that would make the album cut except "Rehab", "Pray for the Locust" and "Underneath Everything". Anselmo solely wrote only three songs on the album ("Hail the Leaf", "Pray for the Locust" and "Pillars of Eternity"). Eventually, the original demo tape was distributed throughout the United States and Down played a small concert in its home town. A record executive from Elektra Records was attending the show. When he found out who the members of the band were, he signed Down to a recording contract. The band began recording the album in the summer of 1994 at the Ultrasonic Studios, New Orleans, Louisiana and completed the recording sessions by January 1995.

Documentary film

A documentary film is a nonfictionalmotion picture intended to document some aspect of reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction or maintaining a historical record. Such films were originally shot on film stock—the only medium available—but now include video and digital productions that can be either direct-to-video, made into a TV show or released for screening in cinemas. "Documentary" has been described as a "filmmaking practice, a cinematic tradition, and mode of audience reception" that is continually evolving and is without clear boundaries.

Defining documentary

In popular myth, the word documentary was coined by Scottish documentarian John Grierson in his review of Robert Flaherty's film Moana (1926), published in the New York Sun on 8 February 1926, written by "The Moviegoer" (a pen name for Grierson).

Grierson's principles of documentary were that cinema's potential for observing life could be exploited in a new art form; that the "original" actor and "original" scene are better guides than their fiction counterparts to interpreting the modern world; and that materials "thus taken from the raw" can be more real than the acted article. In this regard, Grierson's definition of documentary as "creative treatment of actuality" has gained some acceptance, with this position at variance with Soviet film-maker Dziga Vertov's provocation to present "life as it is" (that is, life filmed surreptitiously) and "life caught unawares" (life provoked or surprised by the camera).

My Life After 44 Years In Prison

My Life After 44 Years In Prison

My Life After 44 Years In Prison

Otis Johnson went to jail at the age of 25. When he got out at 69, he rejoined a world that was starkly different from the one he remembered. This is his story.
Last year, we met Otis Johnson at a New York City shelter for ex-convicts. Everyone there was trying to get their feet back on the ground. Otis had just got out of prison after serving a 44-year sentence. The last time he had seen his family was May 1975.
When we shared Otis's first story of being reintroduced to the modern world, viewers were amazed by just how unfamiliar everything was to him. iPhones, Times Square, jars of pre-mixed peanut butter and jelly ... everything was new or starkly different.
INTERACTIVE: My life after 44 years in prison. The story of Otis Johnson
His story clearly resonated with people. More than 12 million people watched Otis' story on YouTube, and we wanted to show them what happened next.
We went to Asbury Park, in New Jersey, with Otis to try to find them. Reconnecting with family was something he had said he was always interested in doing, but hadn't got round to yet. After all, he was still learning how to navigate the city. He had a small box where he kept old, tattered photos of family members, but that was basically all the information he had on them.
"The only address I really have is Asbury Park," Otis told us. So we took the train to Asbury Park not knowing much.
But we did have Otis' memory. Once we arrived at the train station and began roaming the streets, small things about his old home slowly came back to him: extended family members, friends, shops. He wanted to find his aunt, DottieMoore, and some other family members. He said many would probably think he was dead.
When we talked to Otis about his relationship with his family, his answers were complicated. He was a member of the Fruit of Islam (the paramilitary wing of Nation of Islam, the Islamic religious movement once famously led by Malcom X) in his younger days. The Nation of Islam's stated goals were to improve the spiritual, mental, social, and economic condition of African Americans. Otis was a devout Muslim who said he helped "clean up the streets" of drug dealers.
"We wasn't all bad," he would say.
But Otis said some of his family members didn't buy that. He didn't know if they would be angry or happy to see him after all these years away. He had a nervous energy about him as we walked down Pine Street, knocking on doors and asking strangers about Dottie Moore.
This final story on Otis Johnson is one of reconnection and reconciliation. It is the story of a man on a quest to reunite with remnants of his past and one, we hope, many can relate to.

Joseph Ligon : The men who turns down parole after 63 years in prison

Joseph Ligon: The story of Joseph Ligon. The men who turns down parole after 63 years in prison
Prison lifer turns down parole after 63 years behind bars.
The Philadelphia Inquirer examined the case of Joseph Ligon, who has been in prison since the age of 15, reporting that he rejected the deal out of principle.
Mr Ligon, thought to be the lonest-serving juvenile lifer in the world, has spent the last 63 years behind bars after being handed a life sentence for his role in the murder of two people in 1953. He claims he did not commit the murders.
Joe was incarcerated when he was 15 after a one-day trial for a murder he denies committing. He is in Pennsylvania—one of the three major states (Michigan and Louisiana) that required a subsequent Supreme Court ruling to allow juveniles committed to life imprisonment to have reconsideration. Joe went in when Eisenhower was in his first term, the Korean War was in full swing and the Dodgers (Brooklyn) were playing the Yankees in the World Series.

Kids You Forgot Committed Horrible Crimes

Kids You Forgot Committed Horrible Crimes

Kids You Forgot Committed Horrible Crimes

Kids aren't always cute and harmless so keep a good eye on your children! Here are 20 kids you forgot committed horrible crimes.
Subscribe for weekly wacky videos and learn interesting facts about the world with awesome top 10 lists and other amazing videos.
10- Joseph Weil – This conman started his criminal career at just 17 years old in the 1800’s. He was an infamous protection racket man and loan sharked, and eventually started selling rainwater under the guise “Meriwether’s Elixir.” He was never arrested or convicted of any crime, but he lived and died a conman – at the ripe old age of 100 years old!
9- Jesse Pomeroy – In 1874, at just 11 years old, this problem child sexually tortured and molested up to seven other boys. He soon turned deadly, and after that he killed and mutilated a 10 year old girl. He was sentenced to just 40 years of solitary confinement – the maximum sentence at the time for someone so young.
8- David Brom – David Brom was just 16 years old in 1988, when the seemingly normal and average teenager took an axe and bludgeoned his entire family to death while they slept. He killed his parents, his 14 year old sister and nine year old brother. The next day at school it was business as usual, and he even bragged to a friend about the murders. He’s now in prison serving a life term.
7- JasmineRichardson – In 2006, Jasmine Richardson was talked into killing her parents and eight year old brother by her deranged boyfriend. At just 12 years old, Jasmine stabbed her parents so many times her father was drained of almost all his blood. She then slit her brother’s throat while he slept upstairs. She was charged with first degree murder, but has since been placed in a mental hospital.
6- Brian Blackwell – Wanting to appear to have more than he had was the motivation behind this next crime. Brian Blackwell took out credit cards and loans in his father’s name to appear to be wealthy to his friends. When his parents found out, Blackwell beat them both with a hammer and then stabbed them to death. After the murders, he whisked his girlfriend away on a lavish vacay to NYC and Barbados. He was later sentenced to life in prison.
5- Eric Smith – 13 year old Eric Smith lured 4 year old Derrick Robie to a park where he then strangled him and beat him with two large rocks before sexually abusing and mutilating his body. Smith was found guilty of second degree murder and received the maximum sentence for someone his age – 9 years to life.
4- The Menendez Brothers – Who could forget the Menendez brothers – Lyle and Erik. In 1989, the brothers used a shotgun to kill both their parents in cold blood. The 21 year old and 18 year old became the center of all media at that time and the trial was covered and followed relentlessly. The pair were convicted and sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole.
3- Edmund Kemper – So, at 15 years old, Edmund Kemper murders his grandparents and says he had no regrets. He’s then held in juvenile hall and released 5 years later. Surprise, surprise – he went on to murder and dismember eight women (including his own mother) over the following five years. The real crazy part (pun intended) is that a panel of psychologists still labeled him no threat to society! Kemper has to tell the parole board each time he’s up that he isn’t fit to be released.
2- Mary Bell – Mary Bell had a rough start to life. Her mother tried to kill Mary many times when she was a baby and also began prostituting her out to men at the age of four. At 11 years old, Mary strangled a four year old boy to death and then months later she strangled a three year old boy, killing him as well. She went on to mutilate the three year old body and to carve the letter “M” on his stomach. She was condemned to live in a mental institution, but was released after just 12 years. She was released at the age of 23.
1- Larry Swartz – In 1984, Larry Swartz, then just 17 years old, killed his adoptive parents by stabbing his father with a steak knife and beating his mother with a wood-splitting hammer. This case was so sensational and drew so much attention that it was turned into a best-selling book called “Sudden Fury” and made into a TV movie starring Neil Patrick Harris.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/colombia_birding_diego/sets/72157638518794553/
I received an invitation from my friend Steve Bird to join him and Gina Nichol on one of his Pantanal trips so I did... a no brainer! - great fun birding with Steve and Gina and their groups is always guaranteed (enhanced with Eduardo Patrial as a suber guide and cool cara) and this was not the exception adding a LOAD of lifers for me plus the orgasmic Jaguar experience!
After 10 or so days in Pantanal, Chapada dosGuimaraes and Serra das Araras with the Zoothera lovely group, I did Atlantic Forest birding Intervales State Park for a week with Luiz one of the greatest guides and finest birders in the area for a week adding those badly wanted big antbirds plus a PLETHORA of Atlantic Forest endemics.
To end a great trip, I traveled with my Colombian mate GustavoBravo towards Resende where we meet and enjoyed our days with LucianoLima (AKA Luciano Passarinho!) birding the highlands and lowlands of the Serra da Mantequeira mainly at Itatiaia National Park and also the Serra do Mar looking for really rare and hidding-jewel birds thanks to Luciano endless bird-knowledge of his region!... loads of fun, some beers and great birds again for a week!
550 species of birds recorded from which 285 were life-birds for me... what a marvelous fuck@#ng trip!!!

Angola for Life

There are more than 6,000 men currently imprisoned at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola—three-quarters of them are there for life, and nearly 80 percent are African American. It's the end of the line for many convicted criminals in Louisiana, which has the highest incarceration rate of any state in the U.S. In this Atlantic original documentary, national correspondent Jeffrey Goldberg goes inside Angola to speak with inmates and with warden Burl Cain, who has managed the prison for two decades. Cain and his colleagues grapple with the crucial question: What does rehabilitation look like when you're locked away for life?
ReadGoldberg's recent reflection on the filmmaking process (http://theatln.tc/1MmKfuG), as well as his in-depth report on crime in Louisiana, "A Matter of Black Lives," from The Atlantic's September issue (http://theatln.tc/1HE39rg).

Jail is obviously not "the place to be", and it involves violence, crime, rape, and horrible food.
Some even say losing their freedom is worse then all the above.
So how can any human being adapt to the prison life?
Watch these inmates as they spend their first days inside prison walls.
This is a very controversial documentary and we would like to warn you.

Pelican Bay Secure Housing Unit Yard

Pelican Bay Secure Housing Unit Yard

Pelican Bay Secure Housing Unit Yard

Today in Sacramento lawmakers are delving into a growing national controversy over special security units that are used to isolate thousands of inmates from the regular prison population. Civil rights groups say long-term isolation amounts to torture while state corrections officials say the units are necessary and the conditions are humane.
Around the state there are four of these facilities, which are known as Security Housing Units. The most controversial is at Pelican Bay State Prison in Crescent City.
At the heart of the debate: conditions in the units (many inmates are held in windowless cells and have been denied everything from calendars and sweatpants to phone calls); criteria that determine which prisoners are placed there and how they get out; and the lengthy terms some inmates spend in the facilities.
More than 500California prisoners have been locked in the special units for 10 years or longer, according to state data. Of those people, 78 prisoners have been held inside for more than 20 years.
Over the years, authorities have allowed media into Pelican Bay's Security Housing Unit, but access has been limited and the inmates carefully selected by staff.
However, top corrections officials granted unusual access to a team of reporters and videographers from the Center for Investigative Reporting and KQED. We visited all areas of Pelican Bay's Security Housing Unit except for a section housing leaders of a 2011 hunger strike.
Using a small camera mounted to a wall, our team was able to record Beasley exercising with a rubber handball in the small concrete pen (prison staff only began allowing the balls last year). At all other times--day and night—he is held in his cell alone. While skylights allow filtered sunlight into the units, there are no windows.

Alone: Teens in Solitary Confinement

Capping a year of reporting about teens held in solitary confinement, The Center for Investigative Reporting is releasing our documentary "Alone," which can now be seen on our YouTube channel, The I Files.
This follows stories we've done in print, for broadcast on the PBS NewsHour, as part of CIR's new "Reveal" radio show, and in an animation ("The Box") and graphic novel.
With the publication or broadcast of each version of our reporting, we have seen the issue of teenage solitary confinement become part of a growing national debate.
In May, after more than a year of lobbying by youth advocates, U.S. AttorneyGeneralEric Holder called on states to end the excessive use of solitary confinement on juvenile inmates.
CIR began investigating the solitary confinement of teenagers in prison...

Indeterminate Sentences for PublicProtection (IPPs) were found to breach the European Convention on Human Rights, and the government scrapped the sentence in 2012. But nobody did anything about the prisoners already inside....

This follows stories we've done in print, for broadcast on the PBS NewsHour, as part of CIR's new "Reveal" radio show, and in an animation ("The Box") and graphic novel.
With the publication or broadcast of each version of our reporting, we have seen the issue of teenage solitary confinement become part of a growing national debate.
In May, after more than a year of lobbying by youth advocates, U.S. AttorneyGeneralEric Holder called on states to end the excessive use of solitary confinement on juvenile inmates.
CIR began investigating the solitary confinement of teenagers in prisons, jails and juvenile halls across the U.S. in March 2013. Juvenile justice experts had been pressing the Department of Justice to flex its muscle on behalf of young inmates, to no avail. Holder's shop declined all interview requests by CIR.
Our reporting quickly zeroed in on Rikers Island, the massive jail complex in New York City, where last year about a quarter of juvenile inmates were held in isolation for 23 hours a day. We spent almost a year requesting to see Rikers' teen solitary units, but the city's Department of Correction denied them, as did officials at Cook County jail in Chicago and five county jails in Florida. We figured out quickly that juvenile solitary was an often secretive practice, largely unregulated and rampant in most states.
Our investigation early on pointed to thousands of American teenagers held in solitary every day. We wanted to show what that looked like and how it affected kids. We talked to criminal justice experts in California who said virtually every juvenile hall in the state used some form of prolonged isolation.
That's when we remembered Santa Cruz CountyJuvenile Hall. Covering juvenile justice over the years, TreyBundy had heard again and again that officials in Santa Cruz had created a model that had reduced the use of isolation so much that corrections officials around the country routinely traveled to California'sCentral Coast to see how they did it.
Santa Cruz ChiefProbation OfficerFernando Giraldo, and Sara Ryan, the hall's superintendent, allowed us to film inside their facility for five days, unescorted, and talk to anyone we wanted. Our resulting documentary, "Alone," toggles between New York City and Santa Cruz, where young people tell their own stories of isolation and how the justice system can do better.
Now that Holder has said he wants to end excessive solitary for youth, we'll keep watching for changes. In the meantime, watch "Alone" and see for yourself what it's like for kids in isolation and how one facility is trying to keep them out.
"Alone" was produced Daffodil Altan. It was reported by Altan and Trey Bundy, edited by David Ritsher and Andrew Gersh, and filmed by MarcoVillalobos. The senior producer was Stephen Talbot. The executive producer was Susanne Reber.

In a three-month investigation, VICENews uses Freedom of Information laws, exclusive interviews, and prison reports to uncover the scandal of the 4,612 prisoners serving life sentences under abolished legislation — some for relatively minor crimes.
From 2005, judges in England and Wales started giving out a new kind of life sentence for offenses such as shoplifting, minor criminal damage, and affray (fighting in public).
Indeterminate Sentences for PublicProtection (IPPs) were found to breach the European Convention on Human Rights, and the government scrapped the sentence in 2012. But nobody did anything about the prisoners already inside.
Three-quarters of them have completed their mandatory minimum sentence, but still have no release date, at a cost to the taxpayer of $180 million a year. Sixteen inmates have killed themselves since the sentence's abolition.
Speaking to inmates, their families, lawyers, and a Parole Board veteran, VICE News exposes the UK's forgotten prisoners.

Russia's Toughest Prison - BBCDocumentary HD
Russia's Toughest Prison - The Condemned [ Documentary HD 2016 ]
In 2001, soon after Mark Franchetti arrived in Russia as the Sunday Times correspondent, he went on a remarkable assignment to Penal Colony 56. It was the first time any journalist, let alone a foreign reporter, had gained access. It was the beginning of an unusual relationship that Mark forged with the prison governor, Subkan Dadashiov.
Mark and NickRead met working on a documentary for the BBC: ‘Britain’s Most Wanted’ about Andrei Lugovoi, who was accused of the murder & polonium poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in the UK. The film was widely acclaimed, and Mark and Nick forged a uniquely collaborative filmmaking partnership, going on to develop several more films together.
Both were committed to finding new audiences and platforms for their films, and became fascinated by the possibilities of longer form story-telling, and the potential of making feature length documentaries for the cinema. They discussed the possibility of re-visiting Penal Colony 56 in February 2012, and a phone call to the governor suggested that he would agree.
Every single man there is a murderer. Some mad, some bad, and some who just lost their minds in the wrong place and time. This first trip was scheduled at just 10 days. After meeting nearly 100 of the 260 inmates in the first few days, instinct had to guide us to the strongest characters – but then there was a feast of riches.
Visually as the cameraman, Nick was intent on capturing the claustrophobia and textures of this decaying institution, built in Soviet times, full of atmosphere. There was never a moment of silence there – the air filled with human sounds, and of locks turning, doors slamming.
One of the first ‘lifers’ Mark & Nick met was confined to a single man cell, 23 hours a day for the rest of his life. Yet, he told us, he was ‘too busy to talk to us’. Initially we thought him one of the mad, but in time we learnt that one of the main survival skills for these prisoners is a strict regime. To disturb it was unthinkable for this inmate, and we regrettably were unable to persuade him to take part.
Returning to see our original cast meant that Mark could draw them out even more in interview, to fulfill a mission to see ‘inside their souls’ while looking at the whites of their eyes. Eventually though, we could leave – most of the prisoners will remain with little hope of release until their dying day.
Most of all we hope that the testimony of these forgotten men, set in the unique atmosphere of their remote habitat, provides a story that will live long in the memory.

My Life After 44 Years In Prison

Otis Johnson went to jail at the age of 25. When he got out at 69, he rejoined a world that was starkly different from the one he remembered. This is his story.
Last year, we met Otis Johnson at a New York City shelter for ex-convicts. Everyone there was trying to get their feet back on the ground. Otis had just got out of prison after serving a 44-year sentence. The last time he had seen his family was May 1975.
When we shared Otis's first story of being reintroduced to the modern world, viewers were amazed by just how unfamiliar everything was to him. iPhones, Times Square, jars of pre-mixed peanut butter and jelly ... everything was new or starkly different.
INTERACTIVE: My life after 44 years in prison. The story of Otis Johnson
His story clearly resonated with people. More than 12 million people watched Otis' story on YouTube, and we wanted to show them what happened next.
We went to Asbury Park, in New Jersey, with Otis to try to find them. Reconnecting with family was something he had said he was always interested in doing, but hadn't got round to yet. After all, he was still learning how to navigate the city. He had a small box where he kept old, tattered photos of family members, but that was basically all the information he had on them.
"The only address I really have is Asbury Park," Otis told us. So we took the train to Asbury Park not knowing much.
But we did have Otis' memory. Once we arrived at the train station and began roaming the streets, small things about his old home slowly came back to him: extended family members, friends, shops. He wanted to find his aunt, DottieMoore, and some other family members. He said many would probably think he was dead.
When we talked to Otis about his relationship with his family, his answers were complicated. He was a member of the Fruit of Islam (the paramilitary wing of Nation of Islam, the Islamic religious movement once famously led by Malcom X) in his younger days. The Nation of Islam's stated goals were to improve the spiritual, mental, social, and economic condition of African Americans. Otis was a devout Muslim who said he helped "clean up the streets" of drug dealers.
"We wasn't all bad," he would say.
But Otis said some of his family members didn't buy that. He didn't know if they would be angry or happy to see him after all these years away. He had a nervous energy about him as we walked down Pine Street, knocking on doors and asking strangers about Dottie Moore.
This final story on Otis Johnson is one of reconnection and reconciliation. It is the story of a man on a quest to reunite with remnants of his past and one, we hope, many can relate to.

Joseph Ligon: The story of Joseph Ligon. The men who turns down parole after 63 years in prison
Prison lifer turns down parole after 63 years behind bars.
The Philadelphia Inquirer examined the case of Joseph Ligon, who has been in prison since the age of 15, reporting that he rejected the deal out of principle.
Mr Ligon, thought to be the lonest-serving juvenile lifer in the world, has spent the last 63 years behind bars after being handed a life sentence for his role in the murder of two people in 1953. He claims he did not commit the murders.
Joe was incarcerated when he was 15 after a one-day trial for a murder he denies committing. He is in Pennsylvania—one of the three major states (Michigan and Louisiana) that required a subsequent Supreme Court ruling to allow juveniles committed to life imprisonment to have reconsideration. Joe went in when Eisenhower was in his first term, the Korean War was in full swing and the Dodgers (Brooklyn) were playing the Yankees in the World Series.

Kids aren't always cute and harmless so keep a good eye on your children! Here are 20 kids you forgot committed horrible crimes.
Subscribe for weekly wacky videos and learn interesting facts about the world with awesome top 10 lists and other amazing videos.
10- Joseph Weil – This conman started his criminal career at just 17 years old in the 1800’s. He was an infamous protection racket man and loan sharked, and eventually started selling rainwater under the guise “Meriwether’s Elixir.” He was never arrested or convicted of any crime, but he lived and died a conman – at the ripe old age of 100 years old!
9- Jesse Pomeroy – In 1874, at just 11 years old, this problem child sexually tortured and molested up to seven other boys. He soon turned deadly, and after that he killed and mutilated a 10 year old girl. He was sentenced to just 40 years of solitary confinement – the maximum sentence at the time for someone so young.
8- David Brom – David Brom was just 16 years old in 1988, when the seemingly normal and average teenager took an axe and bludgeoned his entire family to death while they slept. He killed his parents, his 14 year old sister and nine year old brother. The next day at school it was business as usual, and he even bragged to a friend about the murders. He’s now in prison serving a life term.
7- JasmineRichardson – In 2006, Jasmine Richardson was talked into killing her parents and eight year old brother by her deranged boyfriend. At just 12 years old, Jasmine stabbed her parents so many times her father was drained of almost all his blood. She then slit her brother’s throat while he slept upstairs. She was charged with first degree murder, but has since been placed in a mental hospital.
6- Brian Blackwell – Wanting to appear to have more than he had was the motivation behind this next crime. Brian Blackwell took out credit cards and loans in his father’s name to appear to be wealthy to his friends. When his parents found out, Blackwell beat them both with a hammer and then stabbed them to death. After the murders, he whisked his girlfriend away on a lavish vacay to NYC and Barbados. He was later sentenced to life in prison.
5- Eric Smith – 13 year old Eric Smith lured 4 year old Derrick Robie to a park where he then strangled him and beat him with two large rocks before sexually abusing and mutilating his body. Smith was found guilty of second degree murder and received the maximum sentence for someone his age – 9 years to life.
4- The Menendez Brothers – Who could forget the Menendez brothers – Lyle and Erik. In 1989, the brothers used a shotgun to kill both their parents in cold blood. The 21 year old and 18 year old became the center of all media at that time and the trial was covered and followed relentlessly. The pair were convicted and sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole.
3- Edmund Kemper – So, at 15 years old, Edmund Kemper murders his grandparents and says he had no regrets. He’s then held in juvenile hall and released 5 years later. Surprise, surprise – he went on to murder and dismember eight women (including his own mother) over the following five years. The real crazy part (pun intended) is that a panel of psychologists still labeled him no threat to society! Kemper has to tell the parole board each time he’s up that he isn’t fit to be released.
2- Mary Bell – Mary Bell had a rough start to life. Her mother tried to kill Mary many times when she was a baby and also began prostituting her out to men at the age of four. At 11 years old, Mary strangled a four year old boy to death and then months later she strangled a three year old boy, killing him as well. She went on to mutilate the three year old body and to carve the letter “M” on his stomach. She was condemned to live in a mental institution, but was released after just 12 years. She was released at the age of 23.
1- Larry Swartz – In 1984, Larry Swartz, then just 17 years old, killed his adoptive parents by stabbing his father with a steak knife and beating his mother with a wood-splitting hammer. This case was so sensational and drew so much attention that it was turned into a best-selling book called “Sudden Fury” and made into a TV movie starring Neil Patrick Harris.

2- Mary Bell – Mary Bell had a rough start to life. Her mother tried to kill Mary many times when she was a baby and also began prostituting her out to men at the age of four. At 11 years old, Mary strangled a four year old boy to death and then months later she strangled a three year old boy, killing him as well. She went on to mutilate the three year old body and to carve the letter “M” on his stomach. She was condemned to live in a mental institution, but was released after just 12 years. She was released at the age of 23.
1- Larry Swartz – In 1984, Larry Swartz, then just 17 years old, killed his adoptive parents by stabbing his father with a steak knife and beating his mother with a wood-splitting hammer. This case was so sensational and drew so much attention that it was turned into a best-selling book called “Sudden Fury” and made into a TV movie starring Neil Patrick Harris.

I received an invitation from my friend Steve Bird to join him and Gina Nichol on one of his Pantanal trips so I did... a no brainer! - great fun birding with Steve and Gina and their groups is always guaranteed (enhanced with Eduardo Patrial as a suber guide and cool cara) and this was not the exception adding a LOAD of lifers for me plus the orgasmic Jaguar experience!
After 10 or so days in Pantanal, Chapada dosGuimaraes and Serra das Araras with the Zoothera lovely group, I did Atlantic Forest birding Intervales State Park for a week with Luiz one of the greatest guides and finest birders in the area for a week adding those badly wanted big antbirds plus a PLETHORA of Atlantic Forest endemics.
To end a great trip, I traveled with my Colombian mate GustavoBravo towards Resende where we meet and enjoyed our days with LucianoLima (AKA Luciano Passarinho!) birding the highlands and lowlands of the Serra da Mantequeira mainly at Itatiaia National Park and also the Serra do Mar looking for really rare and hidding-jewel birds thanks to Luciano endless bird-knowledge of his region!... loads of fun, some beers and great birds again for a week!
550 species of birds recorded from which 285 were life-birds for me... what a marvelous fuck@#ng trip!!!

There are more than 6,000 men currently imprisoned at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola—three-quarters of them are there for life, and nearly 80 percent are African American. It's the end of the line for many convicted criminals in Louisiana, which has the highest incarceration rate of any state in the U.S. In this Atlantic original documentary, national correspondent Jeffrey Goldberg goes inside Angola to speak with inmates and with warden Burl Cain, who has managed the prison for two decades. Cain and his colleagues grapple with the crucial question: What does rehabilitation look like when you're locked away for life?
ReadGoldberg's recent reflection on the filmmaking process (http://theatln.tc/1MmKfuG), as well as his in-depth report on crime in Louisiana, "A Matter of Black Lives," from The Atlantic's September issue (http://theatln.tc/1HE39rg).

Today in Sacramento lawmakers are delving into a growing national controversy over special security units that are used to isolate thousands of inmates from the regular prison population. Civil rights groups say long-term isolation amounts to torture while state corrections officials say the units are necessary and the conditions are humane.
Around the state there are four of these facilities, which are known as Security Housing Units. The most controversial is at Pelican Bay State Prison in Crescent City.
At the heart of the debate: conditions in the units (many inmates are held in windowless cells and have been denied everything from calendars and sweatpants to phone calls); criteria that determine which prisoners are placed there and how they get out; and the lengthy terms some inmates spend in the facilities.
More than 500California prisoners have been locked in the special units for 10 years or longer, according to state data. Of those people, 78 prisoners have been held inside for more than 20 years.
Over the years, authorities have allowed media into Pelican Bay's Security Housing Unit, but access has been limited and the inmates carefully selected by staff.
However, top corrections officials granted unusual access to a team of reporters and videographers from the Center for Investigative Reporting and KQED. We visited all areas of Pelican Bay's Security Housing Unit except for a section housing leaders of a 2011 hunger strike.
Using a small camera mounted to a wall, our team was able to record Beasley exercising with a rubber handball in the small concrete pen (prison staff only began allowing the balls last year). At all other times--day and night—he is held in his cell alone. While skylights allow filtered sunlight into the units, there are no windows.

Life in prisonDocumentary 2017 : Inmates in HARDCORE SOLITARY CONFINEMENT
Being locked up in a prison is obviously a horrible experience, but theres a difference between regular cells to solitary confinement (segregation).
When inmates move from general population to the solitary unit, they basically move to a prison within a prison.
Extremely violent inmates are being locked up in a solitary unit, and are suffering from extreme harsh conditions, some are locked almost 24 hours a day. Isolation is tough.
These conditions are almost impossible to bare, thus many prisoners commit suicide and kill themselves. They even through feces and urine on their prison guards, and act like monsters.
Most of these inmates lose their minds and become insane. These inmates are being treated like animals.
Officers regular have to remove self-abusive inmates from their cells in an attempt to prevent them from hurting themselves. They cut their arms, neck and even their genitals.
THIS CRIME DOCUMENTARY IS EXTREMELY HARSH TO WATCH - IF YOU'RE SENSITIVE WE ADVISE TO WATCH OUR OTHER DOCUMENTARIES INSTEAD.

Life in Solitary - Leading to Severe Mental Health & Difficult Prisoner's

Alone: Teens in Solitary Confinement

Capping a year of reporting about teens held in solitary confinement, The Center for Investigative Reporting is releasing our documentary "Alone," which can now be seen on our YouTube channel, The I Files.
This follows stories we've done in print, for broadcast on the PBS NewsHour, as part of CIR's new "Reveal" radio show, and in an animation ("The Box") and graphic novel.
With the publication or broadcast of each version of our reporting, we have seen the issue of teenage solitary confinement become part of a growing national debate.
In May, after more than a year of lobbying by youth advocates, U.S. AttorneyGeneralEric Holder called on states to end the excessive use of solitary confinement on juvenile inmates.
CIR began investigating the solitary confinement of teenagers in prisons, jails and juvenile halls across the U.S. in March 2013. Juvenile justice experts had been pressing the Department of Justice to flex its muscle on behalf of young inmates, to no avail. Holder's shop declined all interview requests by CIR.
Our reporting quickly zeroed in on Rikers Island, the massive jail complex in New York City, where last year about a quarter of juvenile inmates were held in isolation for 23 hours a day. We spent almost a year requesting to see Rikers' teen solitary units, but the city's Department of Correction denied them, as did officials at Cook County jail in Chicago and five county jails in Florida. We figured out quickly that juvenile solitary was an often secretive practice, largely unregulated and rampant in most states.
Our investigation early on pointed to thousands of American teenagers held in solitary every day. We wanted to show what that looked like and how it affected kids. We talked to criminal justice experts in California who said virtually every juvenile hall in the state used some form of prolonged isolation.
That's when we remembered Santa Cruz CountyJuvenile Hall. Covering juvenile justice over the years, TreyBundy had heard again and again that officials in Santa Cruz had created a model that had reduced the use of isolation so much that corrections officials around the country routinely traveled to California'sCentral Coast to see how they did it.
Santa Cruz ChiefProbation OfficerFernando Giraldo, and Sara Ryan, the hall's superintendent, allowed us to film inside their facility for five days, unescorted, and talk to anyone we wanted. Our resulting documentary, "Alone," toggles between New York City and Santa Cruz, where young people tell their own stories of isolation and how the justice system can do better.
Now that Holder has said he wants to end excessive solitary for youth, we'll keep watching for changes. In the meantime, watch "Alone" and see for yourself what it's like for kids in isolation and how one facility is trying to keep them out.
"Alone" was produced Daffodil Altan. It was reported by Altan and Trey Bundy, edited by David Ritsher and Andrew Gersh, and filmed by MarcoVillalobos. The senior producer was Stephen Talbot. The executive producer was Susanne Reber.

----
In a three-month investigation, VICENews uses Freedom of Information laws, exclusive interviews, and prison reports to uncover the scandal of the 4,612 prisoners serving life sentences under abolished legislation — some for relatively minor crimes.
From 2005, judges in England and Wales started giving out a new kind of life sentence for offenses such as shoplifting, minor criminal damage, and affray (fighting in public).
Indeterminate Sentences for PublicProtection (IPPs) were found to breach the European Convention on Human Rights, and the government scrapped the sentence in 2012. But nobody did anything about the prisoners already inside.
Three-quarters of them have completed their mandatory minimum sentence, but still have no release date, at a cost to the taxpayer of $180 million a year. Sixteen inmates have killed themselves since the sentence's abolition.
Speaking to inmates, their families, lawyers, and a Parole Board veteran, VICE News exposes the UK's forgotten prisoners.

Russia's Toughest Prison - BBCDocumentary HD
Russia's Toughest Prison - The Condemned [ Documentary HD 2016 ]
In 2001, soon after Mark Franchetti arrived in Russia as the Sunday Times correspondent, he went on a remarkable assignment to Penal Colony 56. It was the first time any journalist, let alone a foreign reporter, had gained access. It was the beginning of an unusual relationship that Mark forged with the prison governor, Subkan Dadashiov.
Mark and NickRead met working on a documentary for the BBC: ‘Britain’s Most Wanted’ about Andrei Lugovoi, who was accused of the murder & polonium poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in the UK. The film was widely acclaimed, and Mark and Nick forged a uniquely collaborative filmmaking partnership, going on to develop several more films together.
Both were committed to finding new audiences and platforms for their films, and became fascinated by the possibilities of longer form story-telling, and the potential of making feature length documentaries for the cinema. They discussed the possibility of re-visiting Penal Colony 56 in February 2012, and a phone call to the governor suggested that he would agree.
Every single man there is a murderer. Some mad, some bad, and some who just lost their minds in the wrong place and time. This first trip was scheduled at just 10 days. After meeting nearly 100 of the 260 inmates in the first few days, instinct had to guide us to the strongest characters – but then there was a feast of riches.
Visually as the cameraman, Nick was intent on capturing the claustrophobia and textures of this decaying institution, built in Soviet times, full of atmosphere. There was never a moment of silence there – the air filled with human sounds, and of locks turning, doors slamming.
One of the first ‘lifers’ Mark & Nick met was confined to a single man cell, 23 hours a day for the rest of his life. Yet, he told us, he was ‘too busy to talk to us’. Initially we thought him one of the mad, but in time we learnt that one of the main survival skills for these prisoners is a strict regime. To disturb it was unthinkable for this inmate, and we regrettably were unable to persuade him to take part.
Returning to see our original cast meant that Mark could draw them out even more in interview, to fulfill a mission to see ‘inside their souls’ while looking at the whites of their eyes. Eventually though, we could leave – most of the prisoners will remain with little hope of release until their dying day.
Most of all we hope that the testimony of these forgotten men, set in the unique atmosphere of their remote habitat, provides a story that will live long in the memory.

My Life After 44 Years In Prison

Otis Johnson went to jail at the age of 25. When he got out at 69, he rejoined a world that was starkly different from the one he remembered. This is his story.
Last year, we met Otis Johnson at a New York City shelter for ex-convicts. Everyone there was trying to get their feet back on the ground. Otis had just got out of prison after serving a 44-year sentence. The last time he had seen his family was May 1975.
When we shared Otis's first story of being reintroduced to the modern world, viewers were amazed by just how unfamiliar everything was to him. iPhones, Times Square, jars of pre-mixed peanut butter and jelly ... everything was new or starkly different.
INTERACTIVE: My life after 44 years in prison. The story of Otis Johnson
His story clearly resonated with people. More than 12 million people watched Otis' story on YouTube, and we wanted to show them what happened next.
We went to Asbury Park, in New Jersey, with Otis to try to find them. Reconnecting with family was something he had said he was always interested in doing, but hadn't got round to yet. After all, he was still learning how to navigate the city. He had a small box where he kept old, tattered photos of family members, but that was basically all the information he had on them.
"The only address I really have is Asbury Park," Otis told us. So we took the train to Asbury Park not knowing much.
But we did have Otis' memory. Once we arrived at the train station and began roaming the streets, small things about his old home slowly came back to him: extended family members, friends, shops. He wanted to find his aunt, DottieMoore, and some other family members. He said many would probably think he was dead.
When we talked to Otis about his relationship with his family, his answers were complicated. He was a member of the Fruit of Islam (the paramilitary wing of Nation of Islam, the Islamic religious movement once famously led by Malcom X) in his younger days. The Nation of Islam's stated goals were to improve the spiritual, mental, social, and economic condition of African Americans. Otis was a devout Muslim who said he helped "clean up the streets" of drug dealers.
"We wasn't all bad," he would say.
But Otis said some of his family members didn't buy that. He didn't know if they would be angry or happy to see him after all these years away. He had a nervous energy about him as we walked down Pine Street, knocking on doors and asking strangers about Dottie Moore.
This final story on Otis Johnson is one of reconnection and reconciliation. It is the story of a man on a quest to reunite with remnants of his past and one, we hope, many can relate to.

Joseph Ligon : The men who turns down parole after 63 years in prison

Joseph Ligon: The story of Joseph Ligon. The men who turns down parole after 63 years in prison
Prison lifer turns down parole after 63 years behind bars.
The Philadelphia Inquirer examined the case of Joseph Ligon, who has been in prison since the age of 15, reporting that he rejected the deal out of principle.
Mr Ligon, thought to be the lonest-serving juvenile lifer in the world, has spent the last 63 years behind bars after being handed a life sentence for his role in the murder of two people in 1953. He claims he did not commit the murders.
Joe was incarcerated when he was 15 after a one-day trial for a murder he denies committing. He is in Pennsylvania—one of the three major states (Michigan and Louisiana) that required a subsequent Supreme Court ruling to allow juveniles committed to life imprisonment to have reconsideration. Joe went in when Eisenhower was in his first term, the Korean War was in full swing and the Dodgers (Brooklyn) were playing the Yankees in the World Series.

Kids You Forgot Committed Horrible Crimes

Kids aren't always cute and harmless so keep a good eye on your children! Here are 20 kids you forgot committed horrible crimes.
Subscribe for weekly wacky videos and learn interesting facts about the world with awesome top 10 lists and other amazing videos.
10- Joseph Weil – This conman started his criminal career at just 17 years old in the 1800’s. He was an infamous protection racket man and loan sharked, and eventually started selling rainwater under the guise “Meriwether’s Elixir.” He was never arrested or convicted of any crime, but he lived and died a conman – at the ripe old age of 100 years old!
9- Jesse Pomeroy – In 1874, at just 11 years old, this problem child sexually tortured and molested up to seven other boys. He soon turned deadly, and after that he killed and mutilated a 10 year old girl. He was sentenced to just 40 years of solitary confinement – the maximum sentence at the time for someone so young.
8- David Brom – David Brom was just 16 years old in 1988, when the seemingly normal and average teenager took an axe and bludgeoned his entire family to death while they slept. He killed his parents, his 14 year old sister and nine year old brother. The next day at school it was business as usual, and he even bragged to a friend about the murders. He’s now in prison serving a life term.
7- JasmineRichardson – In 2006, Jasmine Richardson was talked into killing her parents and eight year old brother by her deranged boyfriend. At just 12 years old, Jasmine stabbed her parents so many times her father was drained of almost all his blood. She then slit her brother’s throat while he slept upstairs. She was charged with first degree murder, but has since been placed in a mental hospital.
6- Brian Blackwell – Wanting to appear to have more than he had was the motivation behind this next crime. Brian Blackwell took out credit cards and loans in his father’s name to appear to be wealthy to his friends. When his parents found out, Blackwell beat them both with a hammer and then stabbed them to death. After the murders, he whisked his girlfriend away on a lavish vacay to NYC and Barbados. He was later sentenced to life in prison.
5- Eric Smith – 13 year old Eric Smith lured 4 year old Derrick Robie to a park where he then strangled him and beat him with two large rocks before sexually abusing and mutilating his body. Smith was found guilty of second degree murder and received the maximum sentence for someone his age – 9 years to life.
4- The Menendez Brothers – Who could forget the Menendez brothers – Lyle and Erik. In 1989, the brothers used a shotgun to kill both their parents in cold blood. The 21 year old and 18 year old became the center of all media at that time and the trial was covered and followed relentlessly. The pair were convicted and sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole.
3- Edmund Kemper – So, at 15 years old, Edmund Kemper murders his grandparents and says he had no regrets. He’s then held in juvenile hall and released 5 years later. Surprise, surprise – he went on to murder and dismember eight women (including his own mother) over the following five years. The real crazy part (pun intended) is that a panel of psychologists still labeled him no threat to society! Kemper has to tell the parole board each time he’s up that he isn’t fit to be released.
2- Mary Bell – Mary Bell had a rough start to life. Her mother tried to kill Mary many times when she was a baby and also began prostituting her out to men at the age of four. At 11 years old, Mary strangled a four year old boy to death and then months later she strangled a three year old boy, killing him as well. She went on to mutilate the three year old body and to carve the letter “M” on his stomach. She was condemned to live in a mental institution, but was released after just 12 years.

I received an invitation from my friend Steve Bird to join him and Gina Nichol on one of his Pantanal trips so I did... a no brainer! - great fun birding with Steve and Gina and their groups is always guaranteed (enhanced with Eduardo Patrial as a suber guide and cool cara) and this was not the exception adding a LOAD of lifers for me plus the orgasmic Jaguar experience!
After 10 or so days in Pantanal, Chapada dosGuimaraes and Serra das Araras with the Zoothera lovely group, I did Atlantic Forest birding Intervales State Park for a week with Luiz one of the greatest guides and finest birders in the area for a week adding those badly wanted big antbirds plus a PLETHORA of Atlantic Forest endemics.
To end a great trip, I traveled with my Colombian mate GustavoBravo towards Resende where we meet and enjoyed our days with LucianoLima (AKA Luciano Passarinho!) birding the highlands and lowlands of the Serra da Mantequeira mainly at Itatiaia National Park and also the Serra do Mar looking for really rare and hidding-jewel birds thanks to Luciano endless bird-knowledge of his region!... loads of fun, some beers and great birds again for a week!
550 species of birds recorded from which 285 were life-birds for me... what a marvelous fuck@#ng trip!!!
